Critics warn of dangers as genetically modified mosquitoes spread across continents in Bill Gates-backed ventures.
In a controversial effort to combat mosquito-borne diseases, Bill Gates backed biotech company Oxitec released genetically modified Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Ohio earlier this year, sparking alarm among environmental activists and concerned citizens. Critics warn that this unprecedented experiment could lead to ecological disaster rather than the intended eradication of deadly diseases.
Oxitec has now set its sights on Australia, with an application to release genetically modified mosquitoes in Queensland currently under consideration. A draft Risk Assessment and Risk Management Plan (RARMP) is being prepared for release in March, after which the public will have 30 days to file submissions.
The modified mosquitoes, designed to curb populations of disease-spreading females, are engineered to produce non-viable female offspring. The males, which do not bite, are meant to propagate this trait, theoretically collapsing local mosquito populations over time. Gates has hailed the technology as a revolutionary “mosquito versus mosquito” solution to global health challenges, including malaria, dengue, and Zika.
However, skeptics question the true purpose behind these releases.
“Australia doesn’t have a significant malaria problem,” noted one concerned observer in response to the news on X. “This isn’t about saving lives—it feels like an experiment being disguised as humanitarian aid.”
Critics argue that Western nations like Australia, equipped with advanced healthcare systems, do not need such high-risk interventions. “We have the means to treat malaria with full recovery. What’s really being released here?” asked a local activist.
Concerns also stem from Oxitec’s past trials in Africa, where critics argue that impoverished communities were used as testing grounds without adequate transparency or consent.
Gates and Oxitec cite Brazil’s trials as proof of success, claiming reduced cases of dengue fever with no adverse environmental impacts. Yet, the release of over a billion genetically modified mosquitoes worldwide has prompted fears of unforeseen ecological consequences and genetic spillover.

These GMO mosquito releases in Florida are now a huge problem…just like the ‘Africanised Killer Bees’.
Mosquito spraying is no longer effective on the genetically-modified strain.
AND- Bill Gates funded this s***!

This is really sick and dumb for them to be wanting to do this. It’ll just end up as a big regret like the cane toads that they can never undo.
Kill Gates wants to get ya one way or the other, by needle or proboscis, it doesn’t matter as long as you get jabbed with the nasty.
Mosquitoes are food for a number of birds.
Oxitec key people: Luke Alphey (Founder), Grey Frandsen (CEO).
Anybody know where we can have a talk with them or their ilk?
Gates is a de-populist, we have all seen the population expoltion Africa underwent once it had access to a steady stream of food and medicine, without which the African population was kept small through starvation and disease. Now Gates is reverse engineering disease to depopute alongside their endeavors in the food and medicine sectors.
Australia is largely run by US arse kissing globalist lackeys, so this comes as no surprise.
Suffice to say I wont be going near Queensland, anytime soon.
